LUMBER BURNED.
4 Negro Dangerously Injured--Rsse In
the Price of Real Estate.

the Price of Real Estate.
AUsTELL, GA, May 15.-Friday the large
lumber kiln of Aardage & Co., containing
10000 feet dressed flooring in process OF
drying, was burned. The man who was
employed as watchman to attend to the fires
left his post, and during his absence tho
flames reached the lumber and nothing
could be done to prevent its being entirely
consumed.
Capt s. E. Cook, one of the carpenters
employed at the new pavilion, came very
near killing Muggins Baker, 16-year-old
negro boy, Friday. The boy is a noted
vagabond, and was playing with Cooks
tools. On being requested to leave the
grounds he made some impudent reply
which incensed Cock, who seized piece Of
scantling and struck Muggins on the head,
knocking him senseless He is reported to
be in a very serious condition.
The recent activity in real estate transac-
tions, and the greatly increased valuation Of
property, has created much excitement
among the people here. Those who are for
tunate enough TO own three or four acres OF
land are dividing it up into lots apd dis
posing of it at very remunerative figures.
Mr.. n A. Morse, who owns 100 acres just
inside the corporate limits, which he pur-
chased for 81, 800 five years ago, was offered
$4,000 for the same by an Atlanta capitalist
last week. There has not been vacant
house in Austell for twelve months.

SIGNAL SERVICE REPORT.
Points About the Weather for the Past
Week.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The signal Office
has issued the following weather and crop
bulletin for the week ending May Ia: dur
ing the current week the weather has been
warmer than usual in all districts east of
the Rocky Mountains The excess of tenn
perature over normal for the week in the
wheat and corn regions of Ohio, upper Mis-
sissppi and lower Missouri valleys ranged
from 50' to rs "a daily average of from
about g. to IL above normal.
This excess of temperature has
served to advance the season
over the region where a total deficiency in
temperature since january ranges from 1907
to 800. In the Gulf States, Tennes-
see, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland
and Delaware the week was about 25'
warmer than usual, thus increasing the
excess of temperature previously report
ed In the cotton regions the excess OF tenn
perature for the season now ranges from 200
to 30o'. On the South Atlantic coast
the average temperature for the week is
about normal, thereby changing but slightly
The total deficiency of from 100 TO 200', as
noted in bulletin for the previous week.
During the past week there has been a de
ficiency of rain in all sections, ex-
cept in the lower Rio Grande
valley, Delaware, Maryland, Ore
gon and Washington Territory, where
slight excesses are reported. A slight rain
fall during the week has served to increase
the deficiency in the Southern States, where
the rainfall since Jan has been from 8 TO
10 inches less than the average. Generally
in the wheat and corn regions Of the North,
the week has been exceptionally favorable.
Dry, warm weather continues in
the cotton regions east of the
Mississippi, while rains west
of the Mississippi have been favorable to the
cotton crop. Although there is large de-
ficiency in the rainfall in the cotton re ,ion
recent showers have improved the condition
of the crops in the lower Mississippi valley,
while the weather in North and South Caro-
lima and south Virginia is reported as IA
vorable for the growth of the plant.

HOT WORDS AND PISTOLS.
They Bring a Rich Young Man Of
Nashville to Grief

Nashville to Grief.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 15.-J. B. Hotch-
kiss, young man about 80 years of age,
and the head of a wholesale hardware firm
here, was badly wounded last night in diff
ficulty next door to the house of his mis-
tress He and the owner of the premises,
upon which he had entered to get a bucket
of water, had warm words, which resulted
in a resort to pistols. Five shots were ex-
changed at short range. HOtchkiss was shot
in the side. The other man, whose name is
Wilhelm, was not struck. The wounded
man walked to the room of his mistress, who
lives in the suburbs of the city in strict re-
tirement, and two physicians were sum-
moned. Every effort was made to conceal
his identity, he going so far as to beg to be
removed out of the city in his precarious
condition. This of course, was out of the
question. His physicians were put under
oath to conceal his name, but were
unable to prevent the press from
discovering it. The news created great ex-
citement. Hotchkiss is a handsome, wealthy
and popular man, and strong in financial
circles as well as in society, where he is a
leader in fashionable circles. He was en-
gagged to beautiful young lady, a member
of one of the proudest families in the State.
His condition is such that he cannon be re-
moved to his residence, and he now lies at
the home of his mistress.

Hall, which was crowded by an audience
which cheered the Irish agitator and evicted
tenant, Mr.. Kilbride, when they
entered. H. ]. Cloran, presided,
and in a brief speech introduced
Mr. O'Brien, who, he said, ''struck terror
into the hearts of Ireland's enemies" Mr..
OBrien, upon rising, was received with
great enthusiasm. I'VE have" said he,

have convinced every fair man that Lans-
downe is lying under an accusation of the
most fearful gravity, cruelty and in

ard in speaking of British politics,
he said that the coercion bill would pass,

people of the British Isle, he said, compre-
hend the animus of the London Times at
tack on Parnell and knew it TO be lie.
The Times, he said, does not represent popu-
lar feeling. Mr.. Mather spent most of his
time here in looking at coal and iron ore
